One Is so llttlo understood By those who pass from duy to day, Ono feols not In a cheorf ull mood, If sadness falls upon tho way; Hut when a hand can brush asido Dark clouds and lot the sunbeams fall, There seed Is sown that shall abide, Our deeds arc done beyond recall.

Then wherefore, as we onward iro, Not knowing here how long wo stay Should we not spoak the words of ehcor, And help tlie weak along tho way? Why not forgive the erring one, And point hlin to a better life? We cannot work when day is done, Tho good will llvo, death ends all strife. Selected. 21 M. Mm Km LOCAL, PERSONAL ETC.

Thia vicinity is blessed with a good class of farmers, of whom we can name but few this week: Adjoining town on the South, tho fine farm of Pyle, well improved, and fixed up so that he can enjoy life in his old age; A. Jennings has a tine farm of 240 acres on the East, well improved, Adjoining Mr. Jennings on the east, are the farms of Messrs. Williams, and N. Clinkenbeard.

Mr. Clinkenbeard has erected a fine house on his farm this fall. Soutli of town are the farms of C. W. Luther, P.

Pyle, Hughs Wm. Zimmerman, J. R. Jones, Jack. Pyle and O.

P. Hughs, all good farms. West and South of town sue the fine farms of Chas. Nelson, Capt. Cochron, John Barnes, Simmons, Geo.

Marvin Wm. Mowrey and D. M. Nelson. On the North, North-east and Northwest, are the farms of Thornton Vansicle boys, Uncle James Kemp, L.

J. Ilaire, Mr. Yearick and E. Beller. A better set of fanners, or a more energetic class of people than ours can hardly be found in the West.

They are principally old settlers, grown up with the country; have seen the grasshoppers, and dry weather; lived on rabbit's tracks and wind, until it takes more failures than we experience this year to discourage them. There are many other things that we might notice with considerable interest if we had more time and acquaiutanc. James Kemp and A. Barton, two. old settlers, as well as old gray-headed men, got into trouble over their stock, and on meeting each other in this place yesterday morning, undertook to settle the matter with a fist fight, but after bruising each other somewhat they were sep-erated by by-standers.

in honest man has hard work to gain public favor. Lair Dean refused to en ter into a combination at the late re publican county convention of this choosing defeat rather than to make an unfa fight for the nomination. One or two eager otlice-seekers were there by disappointed, defeated, and enraged because of Mr. Dean's straightforward course, and are now using every availa ble means to defeat him, independent of honor, truth and veracity. A more unmanly fight never made against a man who had served before in the same office with as general good satis faction as Mr.

Dean did. The republi cans of the northern part of the county express their intentions to vote for Mr Dean as freely as for any man on the ticket NOTICE!

T. Shipley, of Salem, has purchased Charley Ucnnett's farm. New Lebanon Criterion. Tho difference between capital and labor is ex planed dy an exchange as follows: When a young man sits in tho parlor talking nonsense to his best girl, that's capital! But when he has to stay in evenings al ter they uro murrlcd that's labor. Obcrlln Opinion.

President Cleveland fulled to set foot on Kan- sum soil, ulthough ho was within her border distance of two hundred miles. Another nar row escape for fair Kansas. Obcrlln Opinion. Tho acting mayor of Omuha, feeling that tho city ought to do something to please the presi dential party when it visited her, issued an order commanding the police to let tho saloons run all night for a week; This Is also a grace ful coniniplliiient to tho Democrat Blato eon. vontlon.

It probably prolonged tho stay of that venerable body in the city for several duyi and as much longer as was necessary to have chocks telegraphed from home. Oberliu Opinion. Mr. Powderly, in his recent speech beferc thi Mlnncajiolis convention of tho Knights of Labor, declared that no truo Knights of Labor can bo an anarchist." Tho convention has thrown over the anarchist element. Oberliu Opinion.

Wa hope with his friends that he muy recover the health that he has here-to-fore kitown. We heartjly indorse the wishes of the people, that some live and energetic man would build a livery barn in this burgh to accommodate the Smith Centre Banks. We think it would do a good business, Anon, -DeIr In- A. W. Harness, Queensware, Look out for Holiday Goods toys at Ransom's.

lie also visited the Eiuend otli ce yesterday morning. Hard times, is the cry every where, but the anvills keep ringing at Urowns shop, where he is kept busy, doing general repair work. Frank Morgan bought up abDut one hundred calves recently, and started Tuesday with them to Missouri to win ter. Our impression is, that he would have saved money to have kept them in Smith county.
